General Hospital (GH) spoilers update for the week of October 20-24 reveals that Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner) and Giovanni “Gio” Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza)

will scheme while Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) scores her next lawyer. A party will also end in catastrophe, so things are about to get wild in Port Charles.

Despite Brook Lynn Quartermaine’s (Amanda Setton) best intentions, the celebration she’s holding at the Quartermaine mansion will lead to clashing.

Tracy Quartermaine’s (Jane Elliot) presence at the tea party will set up a showdown with Veronica “Ronnie” Bard (Erika Slezak), so that’ll turn the gathering into a big mess.

Speaking of big messes, there’ll be one in the courtroom as well after Willow and Nina Reeves’ (Cynthia Watros) arraignment brings an unexpected development.

Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) will be furious, but he’ll try to settle down long enough to focus on the task at hand.

Willow will need a new attorney, so Drew may try to strike a deal with Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn).

Alexis will indeed get an appealing offer, so Drew might agree to ditch those restraining orders and allow visits with Scout Quartermaine (Cosette Abinante).

Whatever the case, Willow has a meeting on the way with her next lawyer, so it’s good that she’ll get her legal representation squared away.

Over with Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr), she’ll have a venting session and appreciate Isaiah Gannon’s (Sawandi Wilson) support – though she may not let anything slip about her pregnancy just yet.

As for Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup), he’ll deliver an apology to Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner), but he may continue to keep secrets about his night at Drew’s place with Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali).

While Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) gets into an argument with Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening), Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) will react to a surprise visitor at Steinmauer.

There could be a path to freedom if Valentin plays his cards right.

GH spoilers hint that Valentin still wants vengeance when it comes to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna), who may have to watch his back thanks to this sneaky partnership that’s rising.

Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) will launch an investigation, so we’ll see if that involves concerns about Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) and his shady behavior.

Whatever the case, Michael will take a bold step forward in his plan, so Willow may suffer even more.

Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) will be shocked over what comes next, so Michael might offer up Daisy Gilmore (Evelyn and Brenden Beimford) stalker proof if he scores some.

Although Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) will bicker with Brennan, she may stop short of revealing that she knows about Josslyn Jacks’ (Eden McCoy) WSB gig just yet.

Carly will get some advice later while Brennan seeks out Josslyn – perhaps to warn her that Carly’s acting suspicious and might already know the real story.

While Drew connects with a possible ally, Lulu and Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) will renew their friendship.

We’ll also see Brook Lynn get some bittersweet updates, so that may involve some Gio-related news.

Regardless, Gio will be busy working on a plan that involves Emma, which will bring them closer now that they’ve confirmed they’re into each other.

General Hospital spoilers say Emma and Gio willl join forces on a scheme, so Professor Henry “Hank” Dalton (Daniel Goddard) could land at the center as their target.
